I rarely write reviews, but the complete lack of basic human decency I witnessed here deserves one…read more My group visited the pool club shortly after my 18-year-old friend and his younger sister had lost their mother, whom they lived with in the complex. We brought four friends total, hoping for a gentle afternoon to give the kids some normalcy and support. We were immediately informed there is a strict maximum of 4 guests -- and the staff member on duty refused any exception whatsoever. Of course, I couldn't ruin all the kids days so I let the kids go in. I explained I wouldn't use the pool at all, and neither would my 18 year old friend. Instead, they expected a grieving 18-year-old to single-handedly watch five kids. The alternative? Pack up and go home. When my friend provided his name, the staff member literally skipped over the page and said his sister wasn't on the list and couldn't come in until she was explained that sisters and brothers can have different last names. There was no flexibility, no empathy, and no willingness to make a reasonable accommodation for a grieving family in their own community. The irony is painful: an extra adult would have made the entire pool environment calmer for everyone. Instead, the rigid enforcement left a group of kids stressed and unwelcome in a space that should have been a small comfort, and which they had paid for. This is not a welcoming or family-friendly pool. It's a place where rules are employed without heart or common sense, and the manager explained that this was the ideal way for rules to be used. "Rules are not about compassion." Avoid unless you enjoy being treated like a number instead of a neighbor.

One of the many great reasons to be an Ardmorian would be that we have one of the Great Deals of…read morethe Century: The Ardmore Avenue Pool. This pool, completely renovated in 2004, is large enough to have fun but small enough to be able to spot your young 'un from anywhere you sit. The entrance is through Vernon Young Park, another gem with a full kids' playground, basketball & tennis courts, a large playing field for baseball, flag football, soccer, etc. and the Ardmore Avenue Community Center. So, if the young un's don't want to swim, they can play too. When you enter, you pass through either the male or female changing areas complete with lockers and showers as well as restrooms. There are two pools - a good sized toddler pool with a zero step entry, water spouts and a water mushroom play feature. Maximum depth 18 inches. Then there is the 'larger' pool, also with a zero step entry, a water slide and maximum depth of 5'. Separating the two are a low fence, some bushes, and a shade awning over some grass. Surrounding both pools are picnic tables with umbrellas. Water toys are permitted in the baby pool area. The pools are staffed with lifeguards who change station regularly to stay alert. There is no snack bar, which is in some ways a blessing (no $9 fries!). Many of the local restaurants deliver 'to the pool', and if you want you can easily leave and walk to many of them too. Parking? Well, that's the one star off. It's street only, and it can be a bit of a challenge. I don't want them to make a parking lot by any means, but it does take away from the experience. Also, you bring your own chairs, blankets, etc, which can make for a haul. Maybe the Township will get wise and start a business to rent chairs on site (hint, hint). Now, the thing that makes this really GREAT. The cost to join? For a family of four, residents of the Township, about $70. For the season. Really. Over 65 year old residents are free. Yes, really. That is not a typo. It's under a hundred dollars. A year. Well, a summer. The pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. (Residents of Narberth Borough can join but at a higher rate as can a limited number of residents in Ardmore, Haverford Township, again at a higher rate.) Like I said, one of the Great Deals of the Century. Here in wonderful Ardmore.

Cheltenham has high school and property tax rates. Although I was well past school age when we moved here the schools consistently get good reviews in the various reviews. The snow gets cleared, we have good volunteer fire services and the cops are decent - I even got off for a flagrant violation once I think in equal parts due to my sparse gray hair and my address in Cheltenham. Since then I've been good on the roads! Something else our high taxes buy is is a wonderful library system (3 or 4 I believe) and great parks and recreation. We live between the two pools here - Conklin and the Glenside pool. The Conklin pool is bigger and has it's own parking as well as an on site ice cream truck that the woman who ran the snack bar have upgraded to for 2014. They also have pizza and other foods as well as sweets. The best part of Conklin is the cool crystal clear water. Loads of it! Nice steps so when one feels like slow immersion that's an option. Twin diving boards and deeper sections for those occasions when rapid cooling is imperative. Skilled life guards who jump into action fast - even if a guy horsing around with his companions says 'help' they leap into action rather then waiting to assess the situation from the deck. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes annoying calls of marco ... polo and a range of races and ages that spans the globe joining you in the pool, moms drying tots with huge towels and teens on towels up hill 'sunbathing' If you live in Cheltenham it's not too costly to get in and if you don't live here well, we're a friendly bunch in Cheltenaham so make a new friend. BTW, nothing wrong with the Glenside pool - i's just smaller and harder to park at - if you have kids Glenside has nice slides to enjoy. Both pools are adjacent to playgrounds and picnic areas with grills.

Pool memberships are available only to township residents, although non-residents may use the pool as the guest of a resident. Compared to the Glenside Pool, Conklin has bigger grounds, and a private parking lot, where Glenside has only on-street parking. The atmosphere at the pool is relatively mellow and family-oriented. Although there are many kids, most are there with their parents, so they aren't too obnoxious. The lifeguards call Adult Swim for 15 minutes once an hour in the main pool, which I've never seen at the Glenside Pool. One thing that bothered me was that at the baby pool I watched two different lifeguards letting themselves get very distracted for extended periods of time. If you see this, I encourage you to mention it to a supervisor, because it is really too important to shrug off.

There are plenty of shaded areas. Three pools, too. A lap pool for adults, a big raucous one that everyone can use, and a tot pool for kids in diapers. The main pool has a curlicue water slide and there's a mushroom-shaped sprinkler in the baby pool. Belmont Hills is staffed by teenaged lifeguards who from my vantage seem pretty responsible. The bathroom is clean, there are changing booths, also a concession stand with ice cream and pizza. You have to be a member to use the pool. Guests, accompanied by members, pay $12 on weekends, $10 during the week. The pool is open until 8 p.m. Know that you have to bring your own beach chairs. Most of us leave them on the premises for the season. We were advised to attach our two chairs with a bicycle chain to discourage anyone from using them. It gets really busy on the weekend with parking at a premium. However, one can use the neighboring library lot with a staircase that leads down to the pool. I've met some really nice people here, which has been a delightful and added bonus.
